The Full Amazon Ranking Service – Our Exact Process

We Help Amazon Brands Profit More Forever – Learn How Below

Since rebuilding our core offering in 2018 we’ve had a 100% success rate for ranking products for Amazon sellers & generating a positive ROI. Below is the in-depth exact process we use to achieve these results. Feel free to get in-touch if you have any questions.

The below process achieves our single most important KPI: Increased, sustainable organic rankings.

This in term results in a massive increase in sales, improved conversion rates on the listing pages themselves and increased overall profitability of your Amazon business. You can read our case studies here.

Below is a screenshot from an organic rank tracking software called Keyworx.org (Client’s products are hidden for obvious reasons.)

Many sellers who own eCommerce stores & have multiple products on Amazon wanted us to build out an ongoing solution for both ranking websites in Google & multiple products inside Amazon. We built this offering which you can read about in more detail on our full eCommerce marketing solution page.

Due to our success record & the size our agency is growing, we can only take on 15 new clients per month. As of summer 2018 we receive over 100+ leads a month but we receive to all enquiries within 24 hours explaining the recommended course of action for your business, our goal is to help as many Amazon sellers as possible rank their products and increase the overall profitability of their business. We do this in 2 ways, the first is our single listing Amazon ranking process (explained in detail below) and secondly our Amazon management packages.

Our Amazon Marketing Campaign Process

In this post, we are going to outline everything we do for clients to launch a successful Amazon marketing campaign. With a particular focus on a single listing campaign (parent ASIN), the exact tools and techniques, as well as the important elements we implement to generate extremely high return on investment marketing campaigns for clients worldwide.

With these techniques we are able to provide a service that rivals the largest agencies in the world and outperform them in most cases.

We have built this page to be 100% transparent in our offering and to ensure we are the correct solution for your product. Below we outline the exact strategies used in all our campaigns.

2 Core Solutions

1). Exponential Growth Of A Single Listing/Product (RANK methodology)

The exponential growth phase is for established Amazon businesses making consistent sales, but looking to scale and grow exponentially. This is what the majority of our clients utilise and something we have refined to an exact science after dozens of successful campaigns. The exact process of this campaign is outlined further below.

2.) Full Ecommerce Digital Marketing Solution

This is a complete Ecommerce marketing solution built over a 6-12 month period, with the sole goal to rank all products in Amazon. This can be achieved by building a profitable Ecommerce store and using advanced marketing techniques to profit through multiple platforms at once (social, Amazon, Google). We only take on 2-3 new clients per month for these services, predominantly due to the resource intensive nature of this campaign. You can see the strategy in detail at: amazonseoconsultant.com/ecommerce-digital-marketing-services/

Rank by Amazon SEO Consultant

RANK is the process we’ve developed over the past 2 years of testing, refining and streaming rankings in Amazon.

The Amazon A9 algorithm isn’t like many others, you can see our extensive research on the subject here. But in short, A9 is different and actually easier to rank organically than Google, YouTube and other advanced algorithms.

RANK is an Amazon ranking solution for sellers that we’ve used to rank over 300+ client’s products in Amazon over the past 2 years.

Amazon SEO Consultant has developed a ranking solution to help businesses build momentum on the Amazon platform.

The process: You simply select 1-2 “seed” keywords. From here we generate results for clients worldwide, with improvements in rankings seen within 30 days, below is a selection of our case studies.

How The Process Works

The process has 2 core stages.

Keyword research, competition analysis & listing optimisation

The on-page optimisation stage includes everything that is complete before a product starts selling on Amazon, or before you start your ranking strategy. This does not matter if the stock has been launched on Amazon in the past, we complete the on-page optimisation element regardless of whether you make 0 sales a month, or 100,000+ sales. In this stage we optimise the listings for conversions and Amazon’s algorithm. We do this in the following way.

1). Keyword Research

The first part to any successful optimisation campaign is keyword research. This includes determining what keywords we are looking to rank inside of Amazon’s search engine both long and short term. The more competitive the keywords, the more profitable they will be long term, but the more difficult they will be to rank in the first place.

We start with a process called: common sense. This involves simply analysing what the potential keywords would be for a specific product. Having close to 10 years experience with keyword research, this has now become second nature for the company. Once we are out of ideas we move onto the next keyword research stage.

Using Google’s Keyword Planner – This is a piece of software that generates keyword ideas from seed keywords. Taking our seed keywords from the process above we can put these into Google’s tool and generate hundreds of variations and more importantly other keyword ideas that may not have been thought of in the first step. The Google keyword planner is the smartest tool. Although it is not directly related to Amazon, during the final keyword research stage we can get semi-accurate data for monthly search volumes inside of Amazon.

By this point we have a large sample of keywords related to your product(s). The final stage of keyword research involves using a propitiatory keyword research tool we have built in-house. This tool pulls data directly from Amazon and performance semantic intelligence on these keywords to come up with variations that you can not find by simply typing variations into Amazon.

By the end of the keyword research phase, we usually have between 50-500 keywords, depending on the campaign, that we can use in the PPC (pay per click) campaign later on, as well as in the listing optimisation.

2). Optimisation Of Product Listings

Part 2 of stage 1 is the optimisation of the product listings. This is of course essential for long term Amazon profits, ensuring you rank for the correct keywords once we move onto the next stage of the campaign. Our optimisation works as follows.

Optimisation of an Amazon listing requires implementing your keywords and copy in such a way to on one hand, rank highly in Amazon, but on the other, to convert visitors into customers. We optimise keywords in the following way:

Title – Your title is the most important place to implement your primary keywords. We want to build listing titles that both draw attention for users but also contain a number of our primary keywords.

Bullet Points – The bullet points are essential for copy. Many Amazon SEO consultants miss this key element, only writing for the search engines. With over 5 years experience writing ads, we pull principles from experts such as Cialdini, Luntz, Ariely, Ries and many more. The aim is to write bullet points primarily for users, but also to write these to implement our keywords without affecting readability or conversions.

Search Terms – After the title, the search terms in the back-end of your listing should be optimised for specific keywords and NOT multiple terms inside one line. Here we simply implement our 5 most profitable keywords.

Description – The product description is where we can be more free in our keyword usage. 95% of buyers in Amazon do not fully read product descriptions. And 80% make an instant buying decision based on reviews, price and images. This means that we want to write these descriptions with the final 5% in mind, talking more about the story of the business, whilst at the same time liberally including all of our remaining keywords we have yet to implement into the listing.

Benefit Driven Images – An additional service that is not included in our offering, but one we recommend. BDI’s are images that show the featured benefits of a product in the image. This improves conversions by 30% in almost every case when correctly implemented. A very simple tactic to implement and as 90%+ do not fully read an Amazon listing page, we should be looking to get across as many benefits of the product in the images. (Benefit driven imagery is not inside the campaigns themselves but something that must be in place for conversion-optimisation reasons).

Copywriting – Another essential element to a highly converting Amazon listing is having the right type of copy. We build your listing from a copy first, optimisation second perspective. Increasing the percentage of people who hit your listing who go on to buy.

3). Competition Analysis

Another element to the pre-launch is analysing the competition to reverse engineer profitability. We use tools such as Helium10 to analyse the competition and see if there is a large enough market for our keywords. We look to build million dollar product launches, for small markets we can rank a lot faster, hence generates a faster ROI. Therefore over time, this will not be as beneficial as investing upfront and ranking for the keywords that generate $30,000-$150,000+ in revenue per month. In this part of the campaign, we analyse the competition to give you estimates of the profitability of your products, as well as how strong the competition is inside of Amazon.

Stage 2 – Keyword Focused Sales

Once the listing has been optimised, we need to solve the second, most difficult part of Amazon’s ranking algorithm, this is generating real sales related back to your primary keywords.

These act as massive trust signals to Amazon that your product should be ranking for that specific group of keywords. The more this occurs, the higher you’ll rank for those specific keywords.

This involves scaling the single largest Amazon organic ranking factor. 2 years ago you used to be able to just use discounted products, give them away and rank your product! Amazon cracked down on this and the A9 algorithm evolved. Since then we’ve refined our processes and run hundreds of tests through Amazon’s A9 algorithm, testing every single ranking metric. Full priced Keyword focused sales comes out on top in every scenario. This process done correctly ranks any medium-high competition keyword within 14-20 days.

Results from a campaign at the end of November. Up from an average of 4.0k/day to 5.5k/day within 30 days.

Below is a selection of our ranking results.

Case Study 1 – Health Niche

Our first case study product had been struggling to break onto page 1 for their primary keyword (screenshot 2). For this product, we used a mix of influencer, paid and organic keyword focused sales technique to increase organic keyword rankings. Whereas for other primary keyword, the client ranked 5th when we began and was pushed into 1st within 10 days, but the real success was achieving page one rankings. We ranked page one for an extremely competitive keyword (screenshot 2), that now generates an additional 12-15 sales a day for a higher priced product.

Case Study 2 – Garden Niche

Our second case study was a single listing product campaign. It involved ranking a garden based product that now generates over 500 sales a month, up from around 20 per month. On the other hand, the growth of this campaign was very gradual. This was mainly due to 3 core content placements, rather than a more rapid paid and keyword focused approach in the first case study. Although this took a lot longer to rank the product, it now consistently ranks in the top 5. Consequently, this primary keyword can generate anywhere between 15-20 sales per day. With summer approaching in the northern hemisphere, it is sure to raise to well over 30 sales a day.

Case Study 3 – Fashion Niche

Case study three, a men’s fashion product with a retail price of $50. A tough campaign as the product had very few value propositions, or unique selling points. However, we still managed to generate a page one ranking and double sales from 3-4 units per day to 18-20 per day.

Case Study 4 – Health Niche

Case Study 5 – Sleep Niche

Ranking a highly competitive natural sleep supplement product, taking this product from page 3 up to 4th position on page 1 within only 3 weeks.

Case Study 6 – Supplement Niche

Our Campaign Timeline

Each client that comes on-board is built into a custom created Google project management document which outlines the below information, including dated deliverables for each individual process. For larger campaigns targeting multiple products/listings at once, these dates may be longer. The official length of the campaign is 30-45 days.

Individually these tasks could be completed, but when done one by one the benefits are a lot less effective. When completed all at once to spike best seller rank, the result is not only tripled, it is 10X, if not 20X in most cases & return on investment is increased 1,000% in the process.

Garden Organic Ranking Screenshot – 215th to top of page 1 within 30 days. A 900% increase in top-line sales.

Organic rankings for your pre-determined keywords is how you generate the passivity of an Amazon business that many look for from the Amz platform.

Results

“Tom saved me hundreds of hours of headaches and thousands if not tens of thousands in potentially lost sales through poor optimisation.”

Leo Pezzia (Gardening Niche)

I worked with ASC not only inside Amazon but also for our shopify store. Instead of just writing a testimonial I thought I’d let the results speak for themselves. Below is a screenshot of our shopify store from September to the end of October. Incredible sales figures for a start-up, very happy. [Going from £250/day to £1,000/Day within 2 months. I should note this was using our full eCommerce solution]

Emma Stimpson (Interior Design Niche)

“I’m happy to recommend these services for anyone who doesn’t know how to optimise a listing and get started using the Amazon seller platform. We had been struggling to improve sales through lack of rankings for a number of products. Tom explained why this was happening and helped us create a plan both short and longer term to raise sales from $15,000 monthly, to close to $43,000 a month in only 90 days. I would highly recommend the services to take the pressure off!” [This was a campaign for 4 separate ASINs.]

FAQs

DO YOU WORK WITH ANY LOCATION OR COUNTRY?

We can provide our service to any country where seller central operates in, full list here, although prices for non-English speaking campaigns will be higher due to translator fees. We have contacts for German, Spanish and French campaigns currently.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RANK

Again this totally depends on the competition of the industry, as well as how many sellers are selling similar items. More competition usually equals a slower ranking time but more sales once ranked. The entire campaign takes between 4-5 weeks to fully implement.

HOW ARE PAYMENTS MADE?

All payments are made through PayPal or Stripe’s secure payment system. Payment is taken prior to the start of the campaign. For proposals larger than $15,000, 50% will be taken prior to the campaign and 50% invoiced upon completion. For campaigns over $100,000 payments are spread monthly.

DO YOU HAVE YOUR OWN AMAZON BRAND?

I do, my team for Amazonseoconsultant.com also works closely with me on this brand. We are looking to hit 6 figures a month in late 2018 and currently have 24 products, but this brand is not associated or reviewed in any way with this website and we can sign non competes if needed.

WHAT RANKING SHOULD I EXPECT?

Rankings totally depend on the competition of the product or industry. A medium competition product will rank on page 1 generally within 1 full product campaign.

DO YOU WORK ON A COMMISSION BASIS?

We generally do not work on a commission basis but for very specific products with unique USP’s or benefits we do consider it.

DO YOU do nda’s & non-competes.

We can sign any NDA’s required and a few clients have non-competes in place but generally this is only for ongoing full campaigns.

DO YOU white label your services?

We have never been approached to white label the service.

What’s to stop you from stealing our products?

A question we did get asked once. Sourcing & manufacturing products is the biggest weakness we have (for the brand mentioned above we are trying to solve this but it is still our biggest bottleneck in the business), hence why solving the marketing equation is what we wanted to perfect, hence we simply don’t have the time to launch another brand on Amazon with the number of clients we have now. If you are really worried though I’m happy to sign any conflict of interest documents you have.

DO YOU OFFER ONE TIME CONSULTING?

Yes, we have consulting and training courses on the site.
